Possibly the WSJ should have asked not "whether the president should have been notified at that time" but "if the president was notified at that time." Of course, Jack Lew, Obama's chief of staff at the time, knew about this last fall. How many people right next to Obama have to know about this before it can be assumed that Obama also knew before he claims that he found out from the media reports. This is hardly the first time that I felt that the media was covering on this for Obama. Now we have this amazing statement from someone working in Internal Revenue Service’s Cincinnati office:

UPDATE: Now Democrats are making the only defense that they can for Obama -- that his closest aides never told him about the IRS scandal. Obama feints great anger about this scandal, but it apparently never dawned on his closest aides that he would care enough about the IRS scandal. If they so let him down, why aren't these people being fired? From The Hill newspaper:

UPDATE: Even the press is covering the shifting Obama administration story line about who was informed about the IRS scandal. Politico notes how many people very close to the president knew about this scandal, but that somehow none of them mentioned it to him despite the fact that he now claims that he cares intensely about the issue.

They note: "Monday’s revelation amounts to the fifth iteration of the Obama administration’s account of events, after initially saying that the White House had first learned of the controversy from the press."
